Agenda

  • The DAUF project - “Datadriven Analys och Uppföljning av KTHs Forskning”

  • A demo of the “KTH Publication Analysis app” with projects data from CASE

  • Overview of available data sources for projects at KTH

  • Your questions and feedback

Background and progress

DAUF - background and context

Trend towards better overview of research outputs as well as integration of systems.

Example from Stanford

Stanford RIALTO project (Youtube)

Related, currently at KTH

Progress - What is new during Q1 2023?

  • KTH Publication Analysis app
    • allowing exploration of co-publication and collaboration at KTH
    • for ad-hoc research groups
    • rolling data
    • CASE projects data
  • Mobilizations of projects data from other sources
    • CASE
    • SweCris
    • CORDIS (EU projects)
    • Other sources
  • ABM
    • Sustainable Development Goals

Demo of KTH Publication Analysis app

KTH Publication Analysis app

The goal of this app is to help answering some common questions, for example:

  • Who are the main collaborating partners of division X?
  • How large is the publication output of department Y over time, in copublication with German organisations?
  • Which senior staff at CBH is collaborating with MIT, and what is the bibliometric performance of this research compared to CBH baseline?
  • What is the publication output and project count of the staff related to project X (ad-hoc group of KTH staff)

The idea is that the analysis app will complement the Annual bibliometric monitoring (ABM).

Projects related to staff from ITM:Enery technology

Example based on TECoSA

TECoSA Centre running since 2020 used as example, based on 9 PIs.

Some summary stats:

  • 462 publications 2010-2021

  • 137 publications 2020-2021 (e.g from the TECoSA-period)

  • 28 projecs in CASE

  • 14 projects 2020-2021 (seems to be more in CASE, but some with missing data on duration)

  • Info on funders and SDG-goals on projects

  • Picture of collaborations, through co-publication

Data for projects at KTH

DAUF and data about projects

  • DAUF has been building bottom-up data consolidation and analytics for KTH, making links between Researchers <-> Outpus <-> Projects

  • “Which projects are active? Which researchers are involved? Grant sizes?”

  • What is a project, really? It is an amorphous concept:

    • Externally financed research activity, ie funders and funding exists?
    • Internal ongoing “project work” - internal (or not financed at all)?
    • A call which has (not yet?) been awarded financing?
    • A way to group publications and their authors together?
  • There is no single “source of truth” for all projects at KTH

    • Data requirements depend on who asks the questions and for what purpose

Data sources for projects

  • Overview of available data sources

  • Descriptions of data sources

  • Data flows and access

  • Combining data sources for KTH projects

CASE

SweCris

CORDIS & openAire

  • <Overview here - nr of records, update frequency, fields available, keys>

Combining data sources for projects

  • <Overlap - Unions and intersections for different data sources>

Selection (Urval)

Why the discrepancy?

Future work and directions

  • <Product Owners, Future Outlook>
  • Subject area analysis
    • UKÄ/SCB categories
    • Topic clusters and keywords
    • Journal classifications

Questions and feedback

Questions and Answers

Please provide your input!

  • Do you think what was presented in the demonstration meets your needs for analytical exploration?
  • Would additional reference datasets be needed?
  • Would additional ways to slice and dice the data along other dimensions be useful?
  • Would parameterized interactive reports be useful in addition to the raw data and the app?
  • Are metrics related to author sequence/order useful?
  • Other questions from the Zoom chat
  • Suggestions and comments
